Chereads / Overlord: Ancient one / Chapter 24 - Chapter 24: Nine's Own Goal

Chapter 24 - Chapter 24: Nine's Own Goal

In the middle of the woods. A certain player had suddenly appeared. His whole body was glowing, indicating that he just died not so long ago and got respawned in this area.

That Player didn't waste any time as he immediately ran away the moment he found out that he can freely move already. The way he ran away looks like he was running away from something, he's running fast like he's running for his dear life.

He keeps running for a whole couple of minutes until suddenly—

*Swing!*

His whole body suddenly glowed for some reason. He knows what's happening, and what's about to happen next, but he's too slow to react.

Immediately after the light engulfed his whole body, he got paralyzed. Or at least that's what happened.

He can't move a single limb. And since he was in the middle of running when it happened, he stumbled and fell to the ground miserably.

The paralyzation didn't last that long and immediately wore off its effects, but it already did the job of stopping him from his tracks.

"Got some points!"

"Two more and I'll be able to change class."

"Hurry up and finish him."

While lying down on the ground, he suddenly noticed that a group of individuals were approaching him from behind. Given their distinctive figures, these fellows seem to be Players too— more accurately Demi-human players.

Clearly, if someone were to look at this. They'll surely see the comparison in levels between him and the group of Players.

The group of Players is equipped with some good pieces of Equipment while he has nothing but a poor-looking robe.

"A freaking inhuman."

"You're disgusting."

It looks like the Group has the intention to harm him, and they don't want to waste any more time and do nothing but that immediately.

Knowing what they planned to do, he looked back at the Group, hoping that if he pleaded enough, they'll have a sudden change of hearts and just let him be free.

But he immediately realized that that was impossible to happen because as he turned his head towards the group, he immediately saw that one of them, the Guy that has a full Black heavy Armor, raised his two-handed axe and is about to swing it down towards him already.

He just gave up on his ideas and silently accepted another death—that has been causing ever since he entered this game.

But suddenly, before the opponent's axe could even touch him, the group of demi-human players turned into particles of light.

The Group of Players was suddenly attacked by an unknown entity. The attack was so fast that none of them seemed to realize it. Not only fast but strong too since all it took to kill them all was only a single attack.

The player that has a poor-looking robe, watches his supposed killers get annihilated in a matter of seconds with awe.

After getting attacked and killed, the Group of demi-human players disappeared on their spot,

revealing the player, Who is wearing a full shining silver Armor from top to bottom, holding a one-handed shield in his left hand and a sword in the other hand.

"W—Why did you save me? A player you don't even know." The Player with a poor-looking robe asked as he suddenly heard Wild West music in the background as the Player in front of him appeared.

"A—And what with this sudden BGM."

"Saving someone in trouble is always the right thing to do." Said the silver-armored guy while doing a bunch of poses then a bold Text that says [JUSTICE HAS ARRIVED] appeared behind him.

He completely ignored the second question.

The Player that has a poor-looking robe was astonished by this as he just keeps looking at the man. To him, this guy seems to be some kind of hero from the legend.

[FIRST PERSON POV]

"Oi, Guys! I want to introduce you guys to someone!" Touch Me called us as soon as he entered the clan base.

Hearing his voice everybody turned their attention to his, seeing that he was not alone—Warrior Takemikazuchi asked.

"Who is he Touch Me?

"His name is Momonga, and as you can see he is a fellow heteromorphic like us."

"So, What is he doing here?" Takemikazuchi asked.

"You see When I was on my way over here, I saw a group of demi-humans try to slay, so I killed them, as he doesn't have any friends in this game I brought him here—so guys I have a favor to ask...."

"Stop it right there. Since it is the insect–brain we are talking about, it's obvious what he is going to ask." Ulbert said, knowing well about Touch Me personality —as he walked towards Momonga.

"The name is Ulbert, Ulbert Alain Odle, the ruler of demons, Patriarch of darkness. Demon of Great Disaster." He said with his signature introduction.

Even though most of the time, Ulbert is informal and always fantasizes about the word "Evil"—his personality is the exact opposite of his word. In every boss battle he is always the one who is ready to sacrifice if the situation says so.

Hearing Ulbert's introduction, Momonga was silent as he doesn't know how to reply.

"Hey, isn't it time you change your introduction a bit? You always use the same intro every time, try something new, dude." I said—walking towards Momonga's direction.

"My name is Ancient One, nice to meet you, Momonga. And ignore this Chuunibyou, he sometimes goes like that with newbies" I said to Momonga—the future Overlord.

Following us, all the other members also introduced themselves to Momonga.

The five members—before I joined them—now have a total of nine members including me and Momonga.

The same number started the myth known as Ainz Ooal Gown. But before that, we need to name our little clan.

"Guys, isn't it time we name our clan and make it official." Said Warrior Takemikazuchi—the swordsman of our group—grabbed all our attention.

Even though Touch Me called this a clan—when I first joined—he didn't put any name to it as there were not enough members to officially form a clan and now that the clan had grown—had reached the minimum number of players to create a clan.

"How about {Justice Knights}?" The first one to put forth the name was Touch Me.

"You can't be serious, right." Ulbert asked Touch Me, seeing that Touch Me was not saying anything Ulbert started to laugh at Touch Me.

"HAHAHA, Look even Takemikazuchi is speechless with your naming sense—Justice Knight—seriously, what are you? a kindergarten student with a hero complex. Even Amanomahitotsu picked a better name than you." Ulbert started to mock Touch Me.

During all this time I was silent—quietly observing them.

"If you are that much of an expert, then why don't you suggest a name, Goat Face." Touch Me mocking reply—believing that Ulbert can't pick a standard name.

"If that is the case, then how about 'Nine's Own Goal', seeing that there are only nine of us here, isn't it a name that fits our clan perfectly." Saying so, Ulbert looked in my direction.

"It's unusual for you to stay quiet, Ancient One. So what do you think of the name I suggest?"

"I think it's a beautiful name, that fits our clan perfectly. But this decision is not mine to make." I said as I looked at the members present here, asking their opinion.

"I also think it fits our clan perfectly," Flatfoot replied.

"I also support the name."

"Me too"

.

.

.

"So, Insect Brain, what do you think? my naming sense is good, right." Ulbert asked, noticing that Touch Me is silent and had yet to be given his response.

"Fine, You won this one." Touch Me said clearly unwilling to admit his loss.
